What is the name of he scientist that discovered that atoms have positive charges?

Ernest Rutherford was the scientist who discovered that atoms have positive charges through his gold foil experiment, which led to the development of the nuclear model of the atom.


What are the properties of an atom that determine its interaction with other atoms based on the presence of positive and negative charges?

The properties of an atom that determine its interaction with other atoms based on the presence of positive and negative charges are its atomic number, electron configuration, and the distribution of positive and negative charges within the atom. These factors influence how atoms bond with each other to form molecules.


How do overlapping spheres of charge interact with each other in an electric field?

When overlapping spheres of charge interact in an electric field, they exert forces on each other based on their respective charges. Like charges repel each other, while opposite charges attract. The strength of the interaction depends on the distance between the charges and the amount of charge present.


Why are atoms attracted to each other?

Atoms are attracted to each other due to the presence of opposite electric charges in their particles. This attraction is known as an electrostatic force, which causes atoms to form bonds and create molecules.


What are the charges associated with a covalent bond?

The charges associated with a covalent bond are typically neutral, as the atoms involved share electrons to achieve a stable electron configuration. This sharing of electrons allows the atoms to form a strong bond without gaining or losing a significant amount of charge.

Positive, negative, neutral


Which atoms have a larger electronegativitey?

The halogens are most electronegative atoms in their respective periods.


Atoms have a higher number of positive charges than negative charges?

Cations, positively charged atoms e.g. Na+. The positive charges are the protons min the nucleus and the negative charges are electrons.


What are the two electric charges?

There are two types of charges: positive charges and negative charges. Positive charges are immobile, and are found inside the nuclei of atoms as Protons. Negative charges can be mobile, and have the source of electrons. These orbit the nuclei of atoms, and can be stripped from the atoms to be used as mobile charged through conductors, such as electricity moving through wires.


Do atoms in polar covalent bonds carry slight electrical charges?

Yes, atoms in polar covalent bonds do carry slight electrical charges. This is because electrons are shared unequally between the atoms, creating regions of partial positive and negative charges on the atoms involved in the bond.


Charges of atoms are changed by the movement of?

Charges are changed by the movement of electrons to or from an atom.


Do atoms have a higher number of positive charges or negative?

Normally atoms are neutral.


When electrons were discovered scientist inferred that neutral atoms contain positive charges because?

When electrons were discovered, scientists inferred that neutral atoms contain positive charges because electrons have a negative charge and atoms were found to be neutral overall. This led to the conclusion that atoms must contain positively charged particles to balance out the negative charges of electrons, thus making atoms electrically neutral.


What part do the charges of the atoms parts play in the movement of electrons between atoms?

none


Do ionic bonds form between ionized atoms?
